Wow thanks for the replies!
When i get back from lunch I am going to go through some of these websites and start my research.
Yalls info has provided a springboard for me to grow a pair and dive into this.
BTW, can you save more money in the long run brewing your own beer?

If you completely stop buying commercial beer; then yes. But most likely you will not stop buying commercial beer.

And as you get more involved in the hobby you start buying more stuff, which makes the return on investment harder to achieve.

Yep. I wont stop buying.

To be more specific. A typical batch for someone new to the hobby will cost somewhere around 40 dollars for 5 gallons. There are 45-52 bottles in that batch, so you are paying roughly 80 cents a bottle.

I saw your club on the Friday night list for WYES with no beer listed. Y'all going?
I don't think we are doing the Friday night private tasting, or if anyone from our club is I haven't heard about it. Looks like some good stuff for that night.

Okay I kind of assumed so once I saw the list. I figured who ever filled out the form did what I did the first time, and filled in both sections without thinking abou it.

It also looks like he signed us up for 5 tables. WTF?
He had a kid a month ago, so I'm sure he's not thinking straight.

No. Your quest for "research" will lead you to buying more and more different craft brews.
Homebrewing is a gateway drug to delicious and tasty craft beer.

I believe i may go ahead and brew one more batch of beer before my wedding/honeymoon. It will be a saison. Tonight i will create the recipe, whilst drinking a tasty beverage. I will probably brew next weekend.

I wasn't going to say anything. But why not huh? We are pretty close to each other on Saturday and I promise not to be completely shite-housed like Zapp's so I can come by and actually have a conversation.

This is what i'm thinking for my Saison. Let me know your thoughts.
Malt:
6-8 lbs Pilsener Malt
.5 lbs Special B or 1-2 lbs Munich
2 lbs 2-row
Hops: (still not sure on the makeup. WIll not use all of these)
Mt. Hood
Liberty
Crystal
Amarillo
Hallertau
Yeast: (choose one)
WYEAST French Saison 3711
WYEAST Belgian Saison 3724 (I hear this one stops at 1.035 frequently)
White Labs Platinum French Ale WLP072 (This one is new, i'm interested in trying it)
White Labs Belgian Saison WLP566
I plan to mash at 148-150.
What are your thoughts?
ETA: Because BMONEY is a sarcastic a-hole

I think that's too much yeast.
Posted on 6/12/13 at 1:42 pm to BugAC
You could think about switching the 2-row for wheat.

That's Mr. Sarcastic A-hole to you.

Looks good. Munich and Vienna both do well in saisons in that amount. Not sure why you're putting the 2-row in there. Think about some rye, wheat, and/or golden oats as well.

Hops:
Hallertau is my go-to farmhouse bittering hop. It's very rare I use anything else. I try to not go over 25 IBUs total, most coming from bittering. I prefer minimal EK Golding for late hop additions. You're aiming for a dry beer and perceived hop bitterness will be higher than normal.

Yeast:
3711 will give you no hassles, but it's character isn't as complex as WLP566. Forget Wyeast 3724. That yeast is pain and I have sworn it off.

Go the full hour for the mash if you go below 150. If not, your efficiency will suffer. I know from experience.
